The Indian Space Research Organisati­on on Friday released a photograph of the largest Martian moon, Phobos, captured by the Mars Colour Camera aboard India’s Mars Orbiter Mission. The photograph clearly shows the Stickney crater, the most defining feature of the irregularl­y shaped moon. The crater is named after the wife of Asaph Hall who discovered Phobos. Three other craters -Shklovsky, Roche and Grildrig – are also visible in the photograph released by Isro.
